ATP is regenerated through an anabolic endergonic reaction by the enzyme ATP synthase using energy from catabolism of glucose, mainly through chemiosmosis powered by hydrogen ion flow, with over 80% of ATP production during glucose breakdown attributed to this mechanism.
Insights
- ATP is generated through an anabolic endergonic reaction using ADP and inorganic phosphate, fueled by the energy released during the exergonic catabolism of glucose in cellular respiration.
- ATP synthase, a crucial enzyme found in various membranes, facilitates ATP synthesis by utilizing the energy from hydrogen ions flowing down their concentration gradient through chemiosmosis, playing a significant role in producing over 80% of ATP during glucose breakdown.
